CHAIN OF COMMAND	AUTOMATIC SKILL
Optional, Private Information
REQUIREMENTS The player can only activate this Special Skill when the Lieutenant enters the Isolated state or any Null state. To be able to activate this Special Skill, the Chain of Command user must be placed on the game table as a model or as a Marker.
EFFECTS This Special Skill allows its user to automatically become the new Lieutenant of the Army List. Even if the previous Lieutenant recovers from the Isolated or Null state, the Chain of Command user will continue to be the Lieutenant.

The highly hierarchical structure of the different military forces favors the decision making process during crisis moments, making it faster and more effective, while increasing the operative performance. This way, thanks to a pre-established hierarchy within the combat unit, the transference of authority to the most immediate subordinate happens naturally and automatically in case the leader of the team falls. This system avoids the breaking of the chain of command and allows the unit to keep working without doubts or operative restrictions.

N3 Frequently Asked Question	FAQ Version: 1.7, Jul 2019
Q: Can Special Lieutenant Orders be used by anyone other than the trooper who generated them in the Order Count step of the Tactical Phase?
A: No, unless a rule specifies otherwise. For example, a trooper with NCO can use Lieutenant Orders without having generated them, but a trooper with Executive Order cannot use Lieutenant Orders that were generated by another trooper.
